UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Medway NHS Foundation Trust commissioned fire compartmentation surveying and design work under a purchase order. The requirement concerns fire safety works, with the awarded item classified as fire-alarm system installation work. The buyer is the NHS foundation trust based at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham. Delivery is described as taking place in the United Kingdom. The procurement covers one requirement rather than a set of separately described lots. The scope is therefore relevant to businesses providing fire compartmentation surveys, fire safety design, fire-alarm installation or closely integrated building fire-protection works for NHS or other public-sector estates. Harmony Fire Limited, a Yeovil-based small business, was selected to provide the contracted services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Harmony Fire Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed and started on 1 July 2026. Its stated end date is 24 March 2027, with a maximum extent date of 2 April 2027. The contract value is £388,685 excluding tax and £466,422 including tax. The order includes a renewal or extension arrangement, under which its terms may continue on a rolling basis in the circumstances described, including where services continue and the relevant framework or call-off term has not expired. One lot was completed, and the award is active. The published award identifies fire-alarm system installation work as the contracted item.

This procurement indicates demand from Medway NHS Foundation Trust for specialist fire safety capability combining surveying and design with fire-alarm system installation. A credible competitor for comparable NHS work would need to demonstrate practical competence in assessing fire compartmentation, developing suitable fire safety designs and delivering or coordinating installation works in occupied healthcare environments. The requirement also shows that a small specialist supplier can win this type of public-sector order through a direct, below-threshold route. Businesses with relevant technical teams, experience of healthcare estates, reliable project delivery and the ability to manage design and installation as an integrated service would be well placed when this buyer next needs similar fire-protection work.
